WHS preps for “Little Mermaid”

Feb. 18, 2016

New visitor’s pass coming to USAG Wiesbaden 3/1

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Beginning March 1, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden will be rolling out a new procedure for bringing visitors onto the installation. The new Escorted Visitor Paper Pass will replace the traditional sign-in procedures at most of USAG Wiesbaden’s Access Control Points, according to the Directorate of Emergency Services.

“It gives people the ability to sign in once and access multiple [locations] for up to three days,” said Lt. Col. Michael Zink, USAG Wiesbaden Director of Emergency Services.

The new visitor pass is intended to provide the visitor with the convenience of having the guard scan their pass for installation access, but also adds security features by capturing the visitor’s photo and fingerprints.

USO celebrates 75 years serving U.S. military

By Jim Garamone Defense Media Activity

(Editor’s note: this article features localized information on the USO in Wiesbaden, provided by local historian Dr. John Provan).

Talk about the United Service Organizations and people think it is some holding company. But mention USO, and all Americans know it is a way for them to connect with service members.

Retired Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the chairman of the USO Board of Governors and former Army chief of staff, estimated that the USO has served more than 35 million Americans over its history.

The USO marked its 75th anniversary Feb. 5 at a gala in Washington, D.C. Medal of Honor recipients, USO volunteers, active duty personnel, Veterans, members of Congress, and stars of stage, screen and music gathered to mark a milestone for an organization founded as America geared up for World War II. Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, called the group a family that stretches around the

world. J.D. Crouch, the organization’s chief executive officer, thanked the celebrities for joining in the celebration and for entertaining American service members around the world as ambassadors from the American people. “You light up our service members’ lives,” he said, “and you remind Americans of the debt of gratitude that we all owe to those who serve.”

The USO came into being during a dark time in history. The United States was not at war, but the rest of the world seemed to be. Hitler’s troops stood on the English Channel and launched nightly air raids against London. In the Pacific, Japan eyed the colonial possessions of France and the Netherlands — two of the countries Germany had conquered in its 1940 blitzkrieg.

In face of such threats, the United States instituted a military draft, calling hundreds of thousands of men to service , and Americans wanted to reach out to their young men. President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked charitable organizations to band together to provide See ‘USO’ on page 3

Is your motivation to keep those healthy New Year’s resolutions waning? The Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic’s Preventative Health Awareness campaign will keep you focused on good health — one month at a time.

The campaign’s goal is to help community members tune in to their personal preventative health care needs, using the national health organization guidelines, targeted outreach, and community events that offer opportunities for routine health screenings or tests.

“We’re focusing very much on preventative medicine,” said Lt. Col. Tracy Ostrom, chief nurse, Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic, adding there is evidence to support the old adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

“What can we do better, where are the gaps?” she said after evaluating the clinic’s care metrics. Metrics are a tool used by the WAHC to evaluate how well the clinic is managing the health of the whole community explained Ostrom. “It’s a scorecard for us.”

To address the gaps, the Wiesbaden clinic began looking at ways to reach out to community members especially those who may be overdue for annual health screenings and tests such as; blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer and mammography screenings, immunizations and lab tests.

Some of the clinic’s efforts include personal phone calls to patients enrolled at the clinic and creating health See ‘Health’ on page 4

Vigilance reminder U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community members are reminded to remain vigilant and practice personal protection measures at all times. If you see something, say something immediately, call the MP desk at (0611) 705-114 or the Polizei at 110. Visit the USAREUR Reporting Portal at http:// www.eur.army.mil/eureport/default.asp.

Personal protective measures:

– Stay informed via official channels, news reports, etc., about current potential threats.

– Avoid large public gatherings such as demonstrations or rallies. If you encounter such gatherings, leave the area as quickly as possible.

– Keep a low profile and try to “blend in” to the local environment. In public, avoid wearing or carrying overtly American or military clothing or other items.

– Be unpredictable. Vary routines such as routes and departure times to and from work.

– When traveling, become familiar with local emergency numbers and places that could serve as refuge, such as a military installation, embassy or police station. Learn or carry a few key phrases in the local language, such as “I need a police officer” or “I need a doctor.”

– Instruct your family and associates not to provide strangers with information about you or your family.

– When leaving office or home, be sure to tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to get there.

Crime Prevention

Protect your home by taking the following measures: – When not present lock doors and windows (close rolladens) – Ensure proper exterior lighting (motion sensors). Leave a light on inside your home.

– Do not open your home to solicitation attempts – Report any suspicious activity in the neighborhood

At events

– Carry bags and purses with the flap or lock side closest to your body.

– Do not leave bags, purses or jackets unattended or draped over the back of a chair as a thief will take advantage of your inattention to strike.

– Large crowds bring out pickpockets. Avoid becoming a victim by taking a few precautions: Carry only the necessary cash, debit, or credit cards to accomplish your planned task and distribute your cash, cards and cell phone in different locations on your body to avoid losing everything.

Six civilian organizations answered the call: the Salvation Army, the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Young Women’s Christian Association, the National Catholic Community Service, the National Travelers Air Association and the National Jewish Welfare Board. These organizations chartered the USO in New York on Feb. 4, 1941.

Japan attacked the United States on Dec. 7, 1941, and America entered the war. The Army, Navy and Marine Corps grew, with more than 12 million men and women in uniform by 1945. And the USO grew as well; by the war’s end, about 1.5 million Americans had volunteered for the USO. Actor-comedian Bob Hope — a man who would be virtually synonymous with the organization — held the first camp show in 1941, and for the next five decades, he was the face of the organization.

News and features Army welcomes new surgeon general

VTF to help pets find new home

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley formally swears in Lt. Gen. Nadja Y. West as 44th Army surgeon general as her husband, Don, holds the Bible on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Va., Feb. 9, 2016.

Story and photo by J.D. Leipold Army News Service

The Army formally welcomed the service’s 44th surgeon general Tuesday and promoted Nadja Y. West to lieutenant general.

West became the first African American to serve as Army surgeon general when she assumed the position Dec. 11. With her promotion, she became the Army’s first black woman to hold the rank of lieutenant general and the highest-ranking woman of any race to graduate from West Point.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley hosted the ceremony held on Joint Base MyerHenderson Hall. “She has performed brilliantly in the two months she’s been the surgeon general and I can personally attest to that,” Milley told the audience.

Following the ceremony, West spoke with the press to provide an idea on where Army medicine would be heading.

She said her predecessor, Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, had brought Army medicine to the point that it is now and that one of her priorities would be to ensure that the Performance Triad — focus on sleep, nutrition and activity — continues.

She said though it sounds basic, “we want to take care of ourselves in all dimensions, then to the next level.”

“Gen. Milley says readiness is his No. 1 priority… and there is no other number one, so my job will be to ensure that from the health care aspect, that I can enhance the readiness of our Soldiers, our Families and those who are entrusted to our care,” she said. “You can’t lead people if you don’t care about them. It has to be genuine care.”

West said that her mission was to ensure medical formations are appropriately agile and adaptable to meet the needs of the entire aligned force to include the Army and the joint force.

West was raised in the nation’s capital and was the youngest of 12 adopted brothers and sisters.

Before she took the oath of allegiance, her son Logan and daughter Sydney replaced their mother’s two-star shoulder boards with the three-star versions gifted by her predecessor to the applause of Family, friends and dignitaries.

Milley then presented her with a personal threestar flag before administering the oath of office as her husband, Don, held the Bible.

“In short, she’s in charge of tens of thousands of medical professionals and she has significant responsibilities here and overseas that cover health care policies and medical materiel,” he said. “She’s in charge of organizing and integrating Army-wide healthcare assistance for about two and one-half million people. That’s a lot of work, a lot of responsibility and no one is going to do it better than Gen. West… and she also manages money; she’s in charge of $11.8 billion.”

West next took the lectern and spoke briefly about her large Family and thanked them for the support her brothers and sisters had given over the years. She said the smallest gap in ages was between she and her next oldest sister and that was six years.

“My Family was a really good team,” she said. “There was a group who was all the same age and were friends in the orphanage, so they hung together and looked out for each other… that was a good environment to grow up.

“I think the message that sends is that there’s no limit [to] what you can do; what you can accomplish once you put your mind to it,” she continued. “No matter what your beginnings are, you can aspire to be anything you want.”

West is a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, where she earned a bachelor of science in engineering. She followed up by earning her doctorate of medicine from George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. West flew to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Wednesday, to formally assume command of U.S. Army Medical Command.

The Wiesbaden Veterinary Treatment Facility will soon launch a new program aimed at helping U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community members find good homes for their pets, or good pets for their homes.

Beginning Feb. 22, community members can visit the veterinary clinic to post ads looking for, and providing, pets for adoption.

“There’s a need [in the community] for Soldiers that can’t take their pets with them to be able to place their pets up for adoption,” said Capt. Melissa Dugan, officer in charge of the Veterinary Treatment Facility.

Those interested in placing their pets up for adoption should visit the VTF and fill out a form providing the basic information about the animal (such as age, sex, etc.); any pertinent medical information (the veterinary clinic is unable

to give this information out to prospective new owners) or special needs the animal may have; and the current owners contact information.

All pets must be for adoption, not sale, according to Dugan.

She added while a photo isn’t required, it is suggested.

Adoption information will remain on the board for 30 days at a time, according to Dugan. After that, owners will have to come in and let the clinic know they’d like to repost.

Pets being put up for adoption must be registered with the veterinary clinic, and the service is only open to U.S. ID card holders.

The clinic recommends current pet owners place their pets up for adoption 90 days out, but, the earlier their put up for adoption the better.

For more information, or for any questions, please call the veterinary clinic at civ (0611) 143-546-0700 or DSN 546-0700.

News and features ACS to host career fair Pass . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

By Emily Jennings

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

For those people looking for a job, opportunity will be knocking next month in the form of more than 50 employers both local and worldwide, plus help writing a resume or improving on the one you already have. Army Community Service is hosting a career fair March 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Wiesbaden Entertainment Center, Hainerberg Housing, Bldg. 7891.

Last year’s career fair saw more than 200 job interviews and 59 job offers on site, according to information provided

by ACS. And this time around, organizers hope to improve on that success and help facilitate employment matches for military and civilian spouses as well as transitioning service members, said acting employment readiness program manager Matt Golonka, who together with Stephanie Talcott is organizing the event.

“It’s going to be worldclass,” he said. “Twice as big as last year.”

He said he hopes that people who have not attended a career fair can gain the experience and become more comfortable communicating their skills and abilities for potential employment.

Attendees to the career fair will be able to take advantage of classes and workshops on resume review, interview preparation, transition assistance and consumer protection, Talcott said.

Job seekers should print several resumes and ensure they are free of spelling and grammatical errors, Golonka said.

“Bring paper copies ready for recruiters to read,” he said.

“In previous years, recruiters have reviewed resumes and set up interviews on the spot.”

Those people interested in getting help with their resume should enter all the appropriate information before bringing in to the career fair, Golonka said.

“The resumes for review don’t need to be on resume paper. Nothing is worse than a blank sheet of paper. Have at a minimum a template resume with education, employment, skills and references,” he said.

The list of recruiters includes banking, IT, education and training, defense contractors, aerospace, food services, airlines, infrastructure and technology as well as government agencies.

Business attire is recommended for those in attendance since potential employers will be looking for candidates, Golonka said.

“Dress for success!” he said. “The first impression is key and essential to getting the interview. Many of these recruiters have positions available to fill and this career fair is the first chance at a follow-on interview. Some even interview on the spot.”

Sponsors are required to physically escort their visitors while on post and are limited to four individuals. Sponsors do not have to sign out their visitors, according to Zink.

USAG Wiesbaden will field the equipment at the Hainerberg Gas Station/Express, Clay West, Amelia Earhart, McCully Barracks and the Dagger complex. The visitor’s passes issued at any one of these access control points (ACP) can be used at any of the above listed ACPs. Zink said it is important that community members with guests who wish to visit the Exchange on Hainerberg, first go to the guard shack near the shoppette gate to obtain a visitor’s pass for their guests, otherwise they will be turned away from the Hainerberg Housing Entrance ACP and will have to return to the gas station to obtain a visitor’s pass for each guest.

A visitor’s pass issued in USAG Wiesbaden is

only valid within the garrison footprint.

Implementation of the new system will begin on March 1, with installation of the equipment at Clay West and the Hainerberg Gas Station, followed by Amelia Earhart and McCully Barracks on March 2. Rollout will be completed on March 3 with the Dagger complex.

To obtain a visitor’s pass, each guest must present a valid passport or European Union nationally issued identification card, be photographed, and fingerprinted. Persons from countries identified as being state sponsors of terrorism, persons with an ersatz Ausweis, and persons issued temporary travel documents will not be granted access.

The current method of signing in guests will continue to be used at the Mainz Kastel Storage Station and the Giessen Distribution Center, and visitor’s passes can’t be used to access these installations.

Assistance available for voters

By David Vergun Army News Service

(Editor’s note: this article features localized information about U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden voting assistance).

The primaries are already underway and the general election will be held Nov. 8, but it’s not too late for Soldiers to participate and make their voices heard.

During this election season, the focus has been on the presidential race, but there are other important issues that will be decided in November as well, said Rachel Gilman, Army voting action officer, serving with U.S. Army Human Resources Command.

All 435 seats of the House of Representatives, 34 Senate seats and 14 governor races are in play this year, she said. Add to that referendums, initiatives, propositions and local issues like school boards and mayors that could have a big impact in communities, where Soldiers live or plan to live once they separate or retire.

Where to get assistance

Fortunately, almost everything Soldiers need to vote, whether they’re at home or deployed, can be found on the Federal Voting Assistance Program, or FVAP, website.

The site is easy to use, Gilman said. Simply click on the appropriate state and everything is there, from requesting ballots, return deadlines, absentee voting guidance, forms and other important information.

Some things like explanations of the local issues and candidate positions on issues might not be on that site, she said. They’re most likely to be on state and county websites. The FVAP site has points of contact for state and local voting officials and websites.

If Soldiers still can’t find what they need, such as acceptable forms of voter identification, Gilman encouraged them to see their unit voting assistance officer. Requirements vary by state. Additionally, there are installation voting assistance offices worldwide where help can be found.

Locally, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Soldiers, Family members and overseas civilians can contact Ivan A. Centola, USAG Wiesbaden voting officer, at DSN 548-1321, civ (0611) 143548-1321, or usarmy.wiesbaden.imcom-europe. mbx.fvap@mail.mil for more information.

Biggest problem

Procrastination is the biggest problem for voters not getting their votes counted, Gilman said.

She recommended that Soldiers register and request ballots now and return them as soon as possible. This is particularly important for Soldiers and their spouses stationed overseas, where mailing delays make procrastination even riskier, she said.

Gilman said the Army’s goal is “to make it as easy for Soldiers to vote anywhere as if they were living and voting in their hometowns.”

Voting is especially important for Soldiers, she added. “It’s the freedom for which they’re defending.”

Voting data

While voter trends and statistics are compiled, the Army and commanders do not track and do not have knowledge of who voted and who did not. That would be a Title 10 violation, she said.

While Gilman said she believes it’s important for Soldiers to vote, she added the decision whether or not to vote “is a very personal choice.”

FVAP’s “2014 Post-Election Report to Congress,” published military and civilian voting data, controlling for age and gender between the two groups.

The report noted that in the 2014 mid-term election, 70 percent of active-duty military registered to vote, compared to 65 percent of civilian voters who were eligible.

Broken down by service, the Coast Guard had the highest voter registration in 2014 at 79 percent. The other services were: – Air Force, 73 percent – Navy, 70 percent – Army, 69 percent – Marine Corps, 65 percent Reports for this year’s election cycle are still being compiled, but Gilman said voter turnout in a presidential election year is usually greater than during a mid-term or off-year cycle.

The report also notes why seeking help from the FVAP website or unit voting officer is so important. Of all active-duty military who needed assistance and reported seeking assistance with their 2014 absentee ballot, 81 percent returned their absentee ballot and successfully voted.

Those needing but not seeking assistance only returned 46 percent of their ballots, she said.

News and features Fasching parades wow crowds in Mainz, Wiesbaden

Parade goers and members celebrated Fasching this year with parades in both Mainz and Wiesbaden. Fasching occurs every February, and both cities host big parades on the streets and fairs to celebrate the beginning of the Lenten season.

Caps, service members both win at military appreciation night

By David Vergun Army News Service

There are a lot of similarities between the Army and great sports teams like the Washington Capitals, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley said.

Soldiers and athletes place a premium on physical fitness, cherish high morale and camaraderie, and expect each individual to contribute to the team and to winning, he said.

Milley spoke pre-game to service members and their Families at a National Hockey League Washington Capitals “Salute to the Military Night,” during a game against the New York Islanders, here at the Verizon Center, Feb. 4. He was also interviewed by Comcast SportsNet, as well as Caps Radio announcer John Walton during an intermission period.

“Troops who’ve played sports at a competitive level [prior to] coming into the service have an advantage,” he said. “You learn that on any sport, whether on the ice or on the soccer field. It takes a lot of effort on the part of everyone to win.”

Milley knows first-hand what it’s like to have been on a sports team.

While at his alma mater, Princeton University, Milley played defenseman for the Tigers, a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division hockey team. He admitted that “while I was not quite as fast or large as some of them [Caps players], I could have kept up with a few.”

The chief said he had a shot at being drafted by the National Hockey League, but wasn’t, “so I ended up in the Army.”

“I think you’ve done OK for not having been drafted,” Walton shot back.

“You have an incredibly complex job with so many

National Hockey League Washington Capitals compete against the New York Islanders as the Capitals hosted a “Salute to Military Night” to thank military personnel for their service in Washington, D.C., Feb. 4, 2016. responsibilities leading the Army. How do you do it,” Walton asked.

“There are lots of challenges [being the Army’s chief of staff], but it’s pretty easy to do with great leaders working for you, from generals and colonels, all the way down to the sergeants and privates,” he replied. “They’re the greatest Soldiers in the world. It’s a real honor and humbling to be their chief of staff.”

Besides honoring all service members worldwide, the Caps’ “Salute to the Military Night” is about honor-

ing wounded warriors, Milley said, naming some who were in attendance at the game who were wounded in Afghanistan.

Some of the wounded warriors were missing limbs and could not play hockey in the traditional manner standing up. One of them, a Marine Corps lance corporal, ceremoniously dropped the first puck at the game. “Those kids are playing sled hockey,” he said.

“It’s part of their rehabilitation process. I’m so proud of them, all of them. They’re all heroes.”

Adding words of appreciation for the military was Raul Fernandez, co-owner of the Caps, the Washington Wizards National Basketball Association and the Washington Mystics Women’s National Basketball Association.

Every year for 14 years, the Caps have been hosting a “Salute to the Military Night,” he said. Over the course of that time, the Caps have donated some 30,000 tickets to military men and women.

Milley added his appreciation to the Caps for hosting the event. The chief said that while the Caps have a devoted fan base, it’s essential that the Army has one as well. “It’s important for our morale to make sure that we know America supports our veterans,” he said.

The chief admitted that since coming to Washington, D.C., he’s become a Caps fan, but doesn’t get out to games because of his busy work schedule as chief.

And, when he does watch games on television, they’re usually his “beloved Bruins.” He added that his son is a big Caps fan, though.

The hundreds of military spectators and thousands of others watching that night’s game who were Caps fans were in for a treat. Alex Ovechkin scored his 29th goal of the season, leading the Caps to a 3-2 victory over the Islanders.

Wiesbaden Cub Scout Pack 13 Den Chief prepares to release a heat of pinewood derby cars during the annual Pinewood Derby Race at the Tony Bass Multi-Use Center on Clay Kaserne, Jan. 30. Four racers from the event will move on to the Barbarossa District Pinewood Derby Races at Ramstein Mall, March 5.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Wiesbaden’s Cub Scout Pack 13 recently came together to the take part in the timed honored tradition of the Pinewood Derby at the Tony Bass Center on

Clay Kaserne, Jan. 30.

A day before the checker flag dropped, more than 40 Cub Scouts registered their pinewood cars and competed for specialized design awards.

“I can tell you when I was a Cub Scout my car never looked as great as these,” said Allen Ashton, derby judge from VFW Post 27, the chartering organization for Pack 13. Ashton said every pinewood racer was recognized in various categories.

Participating in a pinewood derby teaches Scouts craft skills, the rules of fairs play and good sportsmanship according to the Boy Scouts of America website.

Each Scout designs and constructs his own car to a specific size and weight, using only the materials provided in an official car kit, which includes a block of pinewood, four plastic wheels and four nails for axels.

On race day the Scouts watched various race heats from the pit stop while friends and families cheered from the stands. In the end, four overall winners are moving on to compete in the upcoming Barbarossa District Pinewood Derby Races at Ramstein Mall, March 5.

The Wildcard Bracket at the Barbarossa District Races is open to all Cub Scouts eager to give their original pinewood racing machine a second chance to perform.

Brendon McCoy, Pack 13 Cubmaster, and head race official recognized the volunteers and organizations for their hard work. “Thanks to all the adult leaders and parents who made the pinewood derby happen,” McCoy said adding a special thanks to the VFW and the Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club who donated funds for a new derby timing gate for the track.

Dependent IDs

Wiesbaden students leaving campus during the school day must carry their Department of Defense dependent ID cards on- and off-campus with them. Guards will conduct checks periodically.

One of the teams at Wiesbaden High School has been hard at work for the last month preparing for their end of season championship. However, it’s not the basketball team or even the cheerleaders — it’s the Robowarriors, WHS’s robotics team.

The team is developing a fully functional robot named Frau POW! 8, for their upcoming First Robotics competition in Orlando. Before they head stateside, however, the Robowarriors are going to take a trip just a little closer to home. At the end of February, they’re going to Holland to scrimmage with other European teams participating in the First competition.

The event will be hosted by a Dutch team called the Rembrandts, who have created an exact replica of the Game, which is the field the actual competition will take place on. WHS students are excited for the opportunity to have a trial run.

Club president Andrea Spencer explained, “[It’s] going to be so beneficial for us to go there and take advantage of the time that we’ll be able to spend on the field because it will be exactly like the one [for the] competition.”

There are expected to be between 8 and 10 teams from Europe attending the scrimmage, with Wiesbaden and AFNorth as the only two DoDEA representatives.

“Basically all these people are going to be coming and we’re going to do just like a mock [run],” Spencer said. “[Like a] practice competition just to see how well we can run a robot, practice driving and stuff, and see how it actually works competing against other robots instead of just practicing by ourselves.”

The Robowarriors’ advisor, Frank Pendzich agreed that this trip is important because it allows the team to “get used to the game and also develop some strategies and techniques. It puts us two days ahead because when we arrive in Orlando, we’ll know what the field looks like, we will have practiced on one [that was] the actual size [as the real one] against a competitor. It gives us a head’s up.”

The Warriors have had to work almost nonstop to get to this point. Build season commenced on Jan. 9, and all teams have only six weeks to create their robot and pack it for competition.

While the teams predicted the scrimmage will be helpful, it also puts them on an accelerated timeline.

According to Sophie Parker, the Vice President of the Robowarriors, “We’re starting on our main robot. We just fin-

While the teams only take one robot to compete, over the span of build season, they don’t build just one.

“Every year we’ve built several robots,” Spencer said. “The programmers they program the robot. The CADders, they build the robot on the computers, so it’s basically just a picture. Then we build a prototype so it’s completely operational. Then we build our challenge bot, our final design. So we build several robots completely, whether it’s on the internet of physically.”

CAD stands for Computer Aided Design, and refers to the software the students use to create a virtual robot.

Pendzich explained, “It’s a sophisticated design tool that’s used in industry. The manufacturer thinks it’s better for them if the kids go through engineering schools learning how to use it.”

“CAD is the way we design the robot and get all the correct measurements and everything,” Parker added. A precise design is vital to be successful in competition, because this year’s bot needs to be capable of performing a wide range of tasks from throwing balls and storming enemy defenses to lifting a five pound portcullis and hoisting itself to the top of a castle.

Spencer, who has participated in past competitions, noted that having a digital design is important for adapting to unforeseen challenges.

“When we’re building our prototype, we’ve had to change it several times late into the build process,” he said. “But if we had our final robot, which is a lot more structurally sound it would be a lot harder to change it around because it’s welded.”

Flexibility is important, as First competitions are notoriously complex.

The rule book is nearly 150 pages, and Pendzich admited that “sometimes we miss a rule and have to modify a robot.”

He cited an instance in the past where the students mistakenly measured the robot in kilos, and failed to realize they were over the weight limit. They had to cut 40 pounds off the bot once they arrived at the competition.

This year, upon arrival in Holland, the team will get right to work. Pendzich predicted.

“We’ll be sleeping on the warehouse floor where they have the arena set up,” he said. “If we sleep at all. What I hope to do is for them just to spend all night doing this and the next day and then they can sleep on the bus on the way home.”

If the scrimmage in Holland is successful, there could potentially be big changes for robotics clubs in Europe.

“What they’re trying to do is [qualify] to hold a regional event over here so the teams from Europe don’t have to go down to Israel or the US,” Pendzich shared. He also hopes to make it possible for Wiesbaden students to letter in robotics in the future.

Their robot may be the one throwing the balls and charging opposing teams, but don’t let that fool you. Pendzich will tell you that the Robowarriors are just as dedicated as any of the other WHS athletes.

“We’ve been working for six weeks straight every day,” he said. “It is a team sport.”

“It’s really good to get somebody else’s take Harach said.” “So [the band director] Mr. McGlynn, on a character.

Choosing such a well-known show was a conscious decision on Harbach’s part. “[We] knew that we had to turn back to the community, that we needed to do something that was going to connect and resonate with [them],” Harbach said. “I actually thought [our past productions of] Grease and Back to the 80s did a good job, but for an older segment of the community. Aida, [we had large audiences, but it] didn’t resonate the way I thought it would. I don’t think a lot of people know that show. So this, this we knew we were going to hit a homerun with.”

Finding a way to balance inspiration from the movie while staying true to the Broadway version of the show has also proved challenging, but one that the director thinks will make the entire production better.

“When I’m doing a show I really try not to be influenced too much by other productions,” Harbach said.

“There are elements from the Broadway shows that I know we are using like the Heelies, the shoes on skates.

But you know, you always have to adapt to your own space, to your cast, to your budget, so it’s very similar to the movie, but there are changes, there are differences.

The ending is very different.”

The personalities of the characters in the play are slightly different as well.

“The musical allows us to understand the characters in a greater depth than the movie does,” Cornish said.

“You get to hear the backstories. You have all of these songs that tell you about the inner monologues that these characters are having.”

English added, “Aida, although yes, everyone could come, everyone could enjoy it, I feel like it was a little darker for young audiences, and this show — everyone loves Disney, everyone loves The Little Mermaid. I just think in general The Little Mermaid has been a show unlike any other. I think we’re going to do it justice.”

Regional Health Command Europe Public Affairs

Four Ukrainian military surgeons, the first group of physicians to do such a rotation in several years, recently visited Army Medicine in Europe for a firsthand look at U.S. wounded warrior care.

Ukrainian Army Lt. Col. Mykola Moskvychov, Maj. Serhii Shypilov, Capt. Pavlo Shkliarevych and 1st Lt. Volodymyr Prytula spent four days visiting various sections of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the 212th Combat Support Hospital during their Jan. 24-29 trip to Germany. All four are surgeons with military hospitals in Kiev, Kharkiv and Lviv, Ukraine.

The visit, which was months in planning, was designed to be a shadowing experience for the Ukrainian physicians, said Air Force Col. (Dr.) Robert Fischer, LRMC deputy commander for clinical services. While partnerships are being explored with several NATO and non-NATO nations, this was the first opportunity for an actual engagement to take place.

“We are happy to share how we approach wounded warrior care, how we receive and then evacuate after stabilization care on the hilltop (LRMC) before they go to Role 4 facilities in the states,” Fischer said. “So this is really about exposure to how American military health care is provided to wounded warriors.”

The visit is aligned with both the Regional Health Command Europe goal of increasing medical diplomacy and the U.S. Army Europe commander’s vision of strengthening relationships, training, interoperability and effectiveness of the land forces they enable.

According to Brig. Gen. Van Coots, commander of Regional Health Command Europe, the visit was multifaceted.

“Almost a year ago I was in Kiev along with (USA-

REUR commander) Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges,” Coots said.

“I got to go to the central hospital there, tour it and talk to some of the folks. Out of that came the desire to plan to have you all come to us and start doing these engagements.

“Part of it is an attempt on our part to familiarize you with us and how we practice medicine and what our capabilities are here in Europe as we support you in your struggle,” Coots explained. “Part of it is designed to do some capacity and capability building, particularly in level 2, level 3, level 4 care. Part of it is also to learn from you what it is you would really like to have and what it is you think you really need and how we can provide that to you, and what you can operate with, from equipment to additional training.”

During the visit, the Ukrainian surgeons had the opportunity to view and discuss hospital operations to include Critical Care Air Transport Team, intensive care unit, and the da Vinci surgical robot — the newest addition to LRMC and technology not yet available in Ukraine.

They also spent a day with the 212th Combat Support Hospital as they worked under field conditions in their Mobile Early Entry Package, a deployable configuration containing emergency medical services, surgical capability, intensive care services, pharmacy, radiology and laboratory all in one tent.

Throughout the visit, Ukrainian and U.S. medical personnel were comparing notes on the similarities and differences between their respective systems. For their part, the visiting surgeons were hoping to bring back practical information they can use to make improvements in their ability to operate with allied forces.

“We will bring back information and knowledge about theAmerican integrated system,” Moskvychov, the senior Ukrainian physician, said. “We personally saw how patients are managed. This is very useful to make for better

Air Force Lt. Col. Cheryl Lockhart, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Intensive Care Unit clinical nurse specialist, explains the Critical Care Air Transport Team patient set up to Ukrainian military surgeons Capt.

It will be very helpful back in Ukraine” Fischer agreed that the first-hand experience is the most useful.

“I think seeing us execute our wounded warrior care is better than just discussing this care at a distance and describing our policies and guidelines … actually seeing them in execution including the movement of patients to and from the hilltop and the flightline at Ramstein, is much more effective in educating these visitors about how it’s actually done on the ground,” Fischer said. “So it goes from principal to action and you tend to remember action better.”

The hope is that these exchanges will continue in the future.

“I want to thank you for being that first group to come from not just Ukraine, but the first group to come and do rotations with us in a long time,” Coots said to the Ukrainian visitors. “Whatever we can do to assist and sustain life on the battlefield is really critical. We want this to be a continual process.”

News and features Army Europe highlights interoperability at communications conference

By William B. King 5th Signal Command

Signal, cyber and communications experts from industry, government and the militaries of several NATO allied and partner nations gathered together for the 9th annual Mobile Deployable Communications Conference in Warsaw, Poland, Feb. 4-5.

One of the key themes of the conference addressed the need for mobile, resilient and deployable communications and for those systems to be interoperable in a joint and multinational environment.

Col. Jimmy L. Hall Jr., commander of 5th Signal Command (Theater) and the U.S. Army Europe, or USAREUR, chief information officer/G6, delivered a keynote address about how interoperability enhances existing U.S. assets and capabilities and how this can lead to greater cooperation across Europe as USAREUR works to reassure NATO allies and partners and deter potential aggression.

Hall highlighted the cooperation agreement signed last May with the Bundeswehr Communication and Information Systems, or CIS, Command, or BwCISCOM, as an example of building upon existing relationships to enhance signal-specific interoperability and partner capacity.

“We want to take that to the field, to work on practical applications where our communications systems are

talking across platforms,” he said.

Addressing the assurance of NATO allies and partners, Hall spoke about the progress and importance of ongoing exercises as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, and how the five pillars of Strong Europe contribute to assurance and deterrence. He said USAREUR completed 75 exercises in 2015 and has 101 planned for 2016.

“It’s about our persistent presence, it’s about our resolve. Assurance and deterrence is important for us that’s what we’re here for,” Hall said.

“We will stand together as partners and allies. We will make Signal Strong for a Strong Europe,” he said.

Col. Juergen Schick, from BwCISCOM’s Concepts and Developments Branch, spoke about their efforts to build the German Mission Network and how it would work in a multinational environment.

“Our goal is to support network-enabled operations in missions and ensuring national and multinational command and control,” Schick said.

He said BwCISCOM is working to eliminate differences between green [mission] and white [non-tactical] systems and networks to allow Soldiers to train and work as they fight. As for what constitutes a mission, Schick said Germany plans for a range of scenarios that includes everything from stability operations to high intensity combat.

“If you are able to provide communications in both

scenarios, then you are able to cover any likely mission, in our eyes,” Schick said.

U.S. Air Force Col. Ken Yunevich, head of operations for the NATO CIS Group, delivered a keynote address about the organization and capabilities of NATO’s communications support deployed forces. He emphasized the need for NATO’s static and deployable communications assets and networks to work together to support and sustain multiple missions on short notice.

“Secure communications on the move is an important growth area for our own internal capabilities,” Yunevich, said.

Brig. Gen. Jozef Nasiadka, chief of the Command and Control Directorate - J6 for the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, spoke about the capabilities building activities in the Polish Armed Forces and its top mobile deployable CIS projects.

“It is essential to have networks that channel information among allies,” said Nasiadka, highlighting Poland’s experience as part of the Afghanistan Mission Network and NATO’s push for Federated Mission Networks.

Nasiadka emphasized the importance of cyber as the fifth dimension of operations, together with air, land, sea and space.

“Military success in the physical domain is today increasingly dependent on success in the cyber domain,” he said.

Unlocking brainpower key to improved Soldier performance, experts say Story and Photo By David Vergun

could measure grit and determination, he pointed out.

U.S. Special Operations Command is already exploiting these types of tests, he said.

Army News Service

“Training the brain is really the gateway to improved readiness and performance,” Col. Benjamin Solomon said.

Solomon, a neurologist and the brain health program manager for the Army Office of the Surgeon General, spoke at a National Defense Industrial Association-sponsored Human Systems Conference in Springfield, Va., Feb. 9.

As tactics evolve that hand more responsibility and decision-making to small units acting independently on the battlefield, cognitive performance will become at least as important as new technology, he said.

Col. Benjamin Solomon, a neurologist and the brain health program manager for the Army Office of the Surgeon General, speaks at a conference in Springfield, Va., Feb. 9.

Cognitive performance means much more than memory processing, he said.

Cognitive performance encompasses such things as creative thinking, critical reasoning and even social interaction skills, he said.

To date, not a lot has been done in the area of “brain training” for those skills he said. A lot of research has been conducted in training the brain, but realworld implementation of that training hasn’t followed.

For example, he said, “We’re demanding creative thinking in the Army Operating Concept but we’re not actually teaching it,” he said. “It actually

can be taught.”

Another example, he said, is pairing cognitive training with sensory inputs.

Research has shown, for instance, that pairing odors or scents with training can improve performance. One study paired the scent of lavender with cognitive tasks and the group given the scent during training performed better when the scent was introduced during a cognitive task.

The other group did not get scent pairing and performed considerably lower.

So for marksmanship training, Soldiers subconsciously pair the smell of gunpowder with target acquisition. Take away that smell, as in a virtual shooting range, and scores might decline. So if a

study is done and an effect is shown to give better scores, why not add the odor in the virtual reality environment to make the training more realistic and effective?

Cognitive Testing

Another area ripe for exploiting is cognitive testing, he said. The means to do so already exist.

For instance, recruits at a Military Entrance Processing Station could be given a battery of cognitive tests that would inform the Army whether or not a hidden personality disorder exists that would make that person unsuitable for soldiering. Another test could determine who is the best fit for infantry or some other specialty. Another test

All of this doesn’t mean that the Army is not focused on improving brain health, he added. Some very effective efforts are being made to do that.

For example, Performance Triad, which places an emphasis on quality sleep, activity and nutrition, has been amply demonstrated to enhance cognitive functioning and improve performance, he said. The Army has even issued monitoring devices to certain groups of Soldiers and has used Army-wide awareness campaigns for all three of those areas for Soldiers’ health and resilience, but there is still a ways to go.

For instance, in the area of sleep, the average Soldier still gets less than six hours a night, he said. “Sleep deprivation is still a badge of honor.” So the culture needs to change as well, he said.

Another area Soldiers are getting cognitive training is in goal setting and changing bad habits, he said. That is being done by Ready and Resilience programs.

Hateful Eight — Set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive Daisy Domergue, race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren, a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix, a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass.

When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob, who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage, and Confederate General Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all.

Risen tells the epic New Testament story of the first forty days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ through the eyes of an agnostic Roman Centurion charged by Pontius Pilot to investigate rumors of a risen Jewish Messiah and locate the missing deceased body of Jesus of Nazareth in order to subdue an imminent uprising in Jerusalem.

Race: The Jessie Owens Story is based on the incredible true story of Jesse Owens, the legendary athletic superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy. Race is an enthralling film about courage, determination, tolerance, and friendship, and an inspiring drama about one man’s fight to become an Olympic legend.

Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards, an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself - even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach, Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.
